    Should I let my kids walk home by themselves ?

    @mrscott1026 I think that's a fine age to start. My kids used to cross over and meet me instead of me going through the car line everyday. We did it together at first and then they did it themselves. Now they are in middle school and all much farther! I think you should try it out and see how...

    Kindergarten Red-Shirting

    @jadaley07 I red shirted my youngest because he had actual issues with school. He was born in July and school here starts early August. He was not ready. Your daughter sounds ready for kindergarten. Go ahead and enroll her. Tell them you will be moving her on next year. Those things are not...

    Unhelpful husband

    @jamesmason10 They don't know how good they have it!! I almost want to find a 9-5 job, so then we can fight over who is taking off during the week when the kids are sick😆😆 there's no winning

    Unhelpful husband

    @rubbles Mine doesn't do nearly all the housework that I do, but then on top complains to me about MY job. I have a job where I'm off during the week, that directly benefits him as I am able to run errands and clean while everyone else is gone. When he's off, he sits his ass on the computer and...

    How much time do new moms spend with babies?

    @lordfeather She's either got PPD or she's just not very maternal. It's definitely odd that she spends like an hour with the baby. One person should not be doing all the baby work. It is exhausting. You will burn out. If you have any family nearby so you can catch a break, I recommend having...

    Are we the only ones struggling financially?

    @blessed09 I try to make some meatless meals, it helps some! I can't buy meat at a regular grocery store anymore. The price for the quantity is absurd!

    Are we the only ones struggling financially?

    @sunflower232 You're not alone!! My husband is making the most money he ever has, and I'm not doing too bad, either. But we are still paycheck to paycheck. We don't have kids in daycare anymore. I feel for parents still have to pay for daycare, it's such a huge expense!! Groceries are killing...

    Advice on going from 2 to 3

    @clh72481 2 to 3 was easy with some parts but hard with others. Given your kids age gaps you might not have the same issues i did. For me it more revolved around school schedules and having a newborn. My kids were 6 and 4 when our 3rd was born (now everyone is 12, 10 and 6). My 4 year old would...

    Did anyone start Preschool at 4 instead of 3?

    @afolabi1024 A lot of people here in Florida do. Free pre-k at age 4. All of my kids went through pre-k /preschool at 4 and it was great!

    when did you have your first?

    @guitarofgod I was 24, 26 and 30 when I had my kids. 30 was the cut off age for me. My kids are now 14, 12 and 7. Kind of wish I hadn't waited so long to go ahead with our 3rd kid, but at the time 2 kids had my hands pretty full. Now I love their age gaps. My 7 year old gives me a little...

    Hand-me-downs or new?

    @jdn2604 I don't know if this has happened to you yet, but it seems like even when we have plenty of hand me downs, someone hits a growth spurt and suddenly nothing fits. That is the time I treat them to something new. One year, my youngest had just received, no lie, 15 pairs of these fabulous...

    Best things about minivans?

    @porcupine73 Sliding doors. Best thing about it! When I drop my youngest off in the car line at school, there's no fussing around, I can open and close the door without getting out of the car (you won't believe how many people get out to open the door!). Keeps things moving. Also, cuts down on...

    I was led to believe he completed the second check after vasectomy, I am now 5 days late

    @sweetiicake My periods are super regular til they're not!! Sometimes I'll get a random missed period or super late period for no reason. Thanks, mother nature!! BUT he shouldn't be misleading about important stuff like this. He needs to get his shit together, this is a big deal.

    Age gap between #2 and #3?

    @jojoz My first 2 kids are 2 years apart. Baby number 3 is 4 years younger than number 2 and 6 years younger than number 1. So they are currently 15, 13 and 9. I have some thoughts. It was a little tough at first. The older 2 were doing big kid things and the youngest was a napping baby and...

    6 y.o. advised to get 8 crowns! What the what!?

    @on_a_mission_ Whenever I hear about stuff like this, it makes me paranoid. Where I'm from, there was a dentist that was defrauding his Medicaid patients by doing unnecessary dental work on his children patients. He would take them to the back and do extractions, etc while they wouldn't allow...

    Managing Different Bedtimes

    @1011 I've gone through the same thing. My boys are similar ages and shared a room. We simply told our 6 year old that older brother has earned a later bed time and when he is 9 he will get the same option. Basically, we don't give him a choice. The trade off was, though, that we had to sit with...
